In need of school living expenses for single mom of three with no child support, while in school full time

Stephanie77 started this conversation

I am a 30yr single mom of three (8yr, 5yr, & currently pregnant) going to school online full time to earn an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice, to be used to help the fight against child abuse.  I have been able to get a grant and loan to pay for my schooling (books and tuition), food stamps, and medicaid.  But unfortunately it has not left me money for bills and living expenses.  I do not recieve child support or afdc because I have what's called a "Good Cause Case" with the Texas attorney general.  This is because I can not let my ex know where I am at because he had molested my daughter and CPS did nothing about it.  He is still running free and abusing another child.  Naturally I would tell someone to go to work and school at the same time like everyone else, but not everyone has my problems.  I have medical problems that interfer with me doing all three things at once successfully.  I have a kidney disease that has caused me to have short and long term memory loss.  Normally this would not pose a problem but because I am pregnant I can not take my medication for Alheimers, and it has helped a lot.  I don't want to give up on school but I can not get acceptance for any loans or grants due to a voluntary repo 6yrs ago (the transmission went out on my car three months after I bought it and the company gave me the run around about fixing it so I told them to come pick it up and it is now on my credit report).  I am hoping to find someone to help me out by lending me $400 per month.  In return I am willing to sign a legal contract promising to payback the loan 6 months after graduation, just like a school loan.  I will also grant you access to my grades online so you can see the progress.
I am able to give whatever paperwork proof someone would need in regards to my health problems (kidneys disease {FSGS}, heart problems, and memory loss), college attending, and monthly bills.  Please help.  Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Stephanie Ford
